COMMUNICATED,

TRAINS ON WILKES AND UNION STREETS
A few weeks ago bill was introduced in
the Board Of Aldermen and referred to q
committee resembling the privilege hereto.
fore granted the Orange and Alexandra
Railroad Company aud its successors. to
move trains on Union or Wilkes streets BY
means of locomotives, and compelling the
company to run their trains by cable or
horse power. While, for one, I would not
favor any movement calculated to cause the
company useless expense or inconvenience,
which either of the plans would result in, |
would most humbly suggest to the railroad
authorities that they issue orders to their
train hands to pull tewer cars up Wilkes
street at time than ia now their practice.
At present, in running up the grade on that
street it is necessary for the locomotive to
puff and snort at a terrible rate, so much so
that when the engine emerges from the tun
mel the noise is equal to that of an earth
quake or volcanic eruption. Gin.
ders are thrown in every direc.
ton, and it is impossible to carry on any
sort of conversation until the train has
reached the depot.

The Senate yesterday evening passed the

districts.
